Description

Cybersecurity is a top priority for businesses, as cyber threats continue to evolve. As a freelance security specialist, your role is to identify and fix vulnerabilities in websites and applications to prevent data breaches and hacking attempts. This involves conducting security audits, penetration testing, and implementing best practices such as input validation, secure authentication, and encryption. Tools like OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, and Kali Linux are used for vulnerability scanning. Common security issues include SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure API endpoints. Businesses also need compliance with security standards like GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS. By securing applications, you help clients protect sensitive data, maintain customer trust, and avoid legal consequences. With the rise in cyberattacks, cybersecurity services are in high demand, making this a profitable freelance niche for experts in ethical hacking and security hardening.
